maruad-The patrons of the Belgium club used to race pigeons. One summer my buddy dragged me along with him on the trips to release the birds. IIRC the furthest east the birds were released was Marathon Ontario.

The release locations were all situated along one of the main railways which caused us to speculate that originally the pigeons were transported by rail. We used the old truck with a huge plywood box on the back that was supplied by the Belgium Club. The truck box stated in large red letters “Live Bird”. People would tell us it must be a big bird to need a box that large.ReplyCancel
